Cycling holiday in Morocco, independent reviews
 Reviewed 25 Feb 2007 by John Farmer |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I enjoyed the cycling through Morocco the most. Some of the scenery was stunning in the anti Atlas.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The cycling is not that strenuous. And even though the holiday is billed as a cycling trip - to be honest cycling only makes up around 40 per cent of the tour. The rest is either visiting cultural things or transfers in the minibus from one place to the next. If you are a keen cyclist you might want to consider doing a grade C holiday instead. Also worth checking the age of people in the group before you book. Not that I minded but most people seemed to be in their 50s and 60s (20 years older than moi). And that might put some people off.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
It did benefit local people. The hotels we stayed in certainly were not multi-national chains. Plus we ate at locally run restaurants. So money spent did seem to go to the local economy.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Overall the holiday was ok/good. But I feel the amount of time spent either sight-seeing or transferring should have been stated more explicitly in the blurb as that made up the larger chunk of the holiday. Not cycling.
